Leeya $17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Inver Grove Heights, MN

I’ve always had a natural affinity for children, having cared for my younger siblings and cousins since I was little. Being CPR certified gives me the confidence to ensure that every child feels safe and secure in my care. I love to create fun and engaging activities, whether it’s arts and crafts or imaginative games, while still maintaining a structured environment. I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and nurturing, always going the extra mile to help children feel comfortable and valued. My ability to connect with kids, combined with my experience and vigilant nature, has made me a trusted and beloved babysitter in my community.

Jobin $18 per hour for 1 child

After babysitting friends children and my own nieces and nephews for 20 years. I’ve recently started doing it for others. My friends and family will tell you that I really like kids and kids really like me. I'm good at crafting, helping with homework, and keeping kids busy away from the screens. In addition to the babies and toddlers I am presently nannying, I currently have three nieces who are 7, a niece who is 10, nephews that are 14 and 18 and nieces that are 20 and 21. So I am familiar with child development from birth to adulthood. What I love about little ones is how fast they learn and they change so much it’s like meeting a new kid every week! I’m not just an occasional babysitter. I have been with these kids anywhere from 10 to 30 hours a week depending on the week. If I’ve learned one thing it is that every child is different, every parent is different and clear communication is the key to success. I will work hard to meet your expectations, ask questions where necessary and use my judgment in emergencies. I’m a non-smoker, I have a reliable car and I am fully vaccinated for COVID and everything else. I am CPR certified and I have taken classes in SIDS/abusive head trauma and pediatric first aid.
